A message posted 17 Nov 2000 by Hans-Werner Meyer of Muenster/Westfalia on the Bohmbach-L list states that he is looking for the family of Anna Margareta Bohnenberg (born c1770 in Brest or Ahlerstedt) who married Jürgen Heinrich Meyer (born 4 Feb 1760 in Nenndorf/Hittfeld, today Rosengarten). They were his 2nd great-grandparents on his father's side, and they farmed in Nenndorf/Hittfeld while several of their sons became shoemakers in the areas of Hittfeld, Moisburg, Bargstedt, Buxtehude, and Stade. Well, this couple seems to be listed as married in the Stade St. Wilhadi church books:

23. September 1787
Jürgen Hinrich Meyer: Joachim Meyer zu Niendorf im ...Harburg ehel. Sohn und Jungfer
Anna Margaretha Bohnbarg: Johann Bohnbargs in Agathenburg ehe!. Tochter

This seems to point to Anna Margaretha's parents being my very own Johann Christian Bohnbarg and Maria Cordes, as mentioned earlier. The e-mail address on the posting was no longer valid in Nov 2004. Another posting was made by Hannas Meyer of Muenster to GEN-DE-L on 30 Jul 2004 with the same information. The address listed there only a few months before was also no longer valid. I believe these were posted by the same person, and I'd like Hans-Werner Meyer to please contact me to discuss this. It appears that we are both descendants of the Bohnbarg/Bohnenberg/Bohmbach family in Agathenburg.
